Message:

Accessibility: In modal collections use alt plus arrow for navigation.

The theme browsers and the media attachment browser supported left and right arrow keys to trigger navigation. These interfered with screen reader reading commands, which also use the left and right arrow keys, forcing navigation instead of allowing the screen reader user to read additional content.

Require that the alt key is also pressed to trigger navigation. Also add debounced screen reader announcements to notify users of the new modal context.
